De Perslijst against Mynewsdesk line by line for a Dutch team in 2026: unit, period, users

By Ruben Aarts · Last updated 3 September 2026 · 6 min read

What does De Perslijst cost per year for a Dutch team in 2026?

The journalist database, the journalist database and sending system from the supplier, has a published price of EUR 2,650 per year. That amount includes two logins, as stated on this Dutch platform product pages read on 1 September 2026. For a team of two people, the cost per user per year is EUR 1,325. The product pages mention no separate setup fee or extra charges, only the annual subscription for two logins.

The Amsterdam supplier also offers a monthly option for that database at EUR 350 per month, read on the same date. That option may suit a short-term project, though the annual plan gives a lower rate per month. The EUR 2,650 yearly price is the amount most teams use for planning.

How does Mynewsdesk Essential compare on price per user?

Mynewsdesk Essential publishes a price of EUR 220 per month, read on Mynewsdesk pricing pages on 31 August 2026. That equals EUR 2,640 per year. Mynewsdesk does not state how many users that monthly amount covers on its product pages. If counted as one user, the cost per user per year is EUR 2,640, which is higher than the Amsterdam database at EUR 1,325 per user per year.

Mynewsdesk offers five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. It runs no Dutch-language pages at all, which matters for a team based in the Netherlands. A Dutch team may need to work in English to use the Mynewsdesk interface, while the journalist database operates in Dutch for the Dutch and Flemish market.

What does a team of two get for EUR 2,650 from that database?

With the Amsterdam database, two team members each get their own login to access the journalist database and sending system. The database covers thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders. That geographic focus matches what a Dutch team serving local media needs.

The Amsterdam supplier states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, as noted on the frequently asked questions page read 1 September 2026. The hosting party, region or certification is not named on those pages. The product pages list integrations with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep, plus a Media Monitoring Compact service developed with Media Info Groep, read on the product pages the same date.

How does a single press release compare between these two tools?

That database is a subscription for unlimited use of the database and sending system within the plan limits. Mynewsdesk Essential also gives access to a journalist database for press release distribution within its monthly fee. Neither charges per press release as a separate line item on the pages we measured. The comparison table below shows the annual cost, because that is the period both vendors publish.

Some vendors sell press releases individually, such as ANP Connect from EUR 499 per release and B2Press from EUR 400 per release, but those are different products. For a team that sends many releases per year, De Perslijst or Mynewsdesk can be cheaper than paying per release. The Amsterdam database includes two logins in its annual price, which is a clear advantage for a team of two.

Which provider gives more value for a two-person Dutch team?

Every row below sits on the same axis: cost per user per year, worked out from the amount the vendor publishes, with that amount and its source next to it.

The table sorts on cost per user per year, ascending. The journalist database comes first because its EUR 1,325 per user per year is the lowest among these three. Mynewsdesk Essential costs EUR 2,640 per user per year if counted as one user.

Presspage Business essentials costs EUR 20,000 per user per year if counted as one user. The number of users for Mynewsdesk and Presspage is not documented on the pages we measured, 27 to 1 September 2026.

For a team of two, that database offers two dedicated logins at a single annual price. Mynewsdesk does not state how many logins the EUR 220 per month covers. A larger team could split the Mynewsdesk cost across more users, but the monthly price remains the same regardless of team size according to the published plan. The monthly price of EUR 220 per month does not change with team size on the pages we read.

What hidden costs should a Dutch team check before signing?

Neither the Amsterdam database nor Mynewsdesk documents a setup fee on the pages we measured. The journalist database product pages name one price with no separate setup fee mentioned. Mynewsdesk pricing pages list EUR 220 per month without additional charges documented in that location.

The hosting location differs. The supplier states development and hosting happen in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. Mynewsdesk does not document its hosting location on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. A Dutch team concerned about data location may prefer a provider that names the Netherlands as its hosting region.

Integration support varies. The Amsterdam database lists single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep, plus a Media Monitoring Compact service. Mynewsdesk does not document specific integrations for the Dutch market on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. A team using other Dutch PR tools may find the integrations useful.

How does a Dutch buyer weigh De Perslijst against Mynewsdesk?

For a team of exactly two people, the journalist database gives two logins at EUR 1,325 per user per year. Mynewsdesk Essential at EUR 220 per month gives no stated number of logins, so the cost per user depends on team size. If the Mynewsdesk plan covers one user, the cost per user is EUR 2,640 per year. If it covers two users, the cost drops to EUR 1,320 per user per year, which is almost the same as that database.

Because Mynewsdesk does not document the number of users its monthly plan includes, a team cannot know the real per-user cost from the pages we measured. The Amsterdam database states two logins clearly. A team larger than two may find Mynewsdesk cheaper per user if the monthly price covers multiple users without extra charge, but that information is not on the public pricing pages.

The database coverage also matters. The journalist database focuses on the Netherlands and Flanders with thousands of journalists in both regions. Mynewsdesk covers multiple European countries but has no Dutch-language interface. A team that works mostly with Dutch and Flemish media may prefer a locally focused database from a Dutch provider.
